Girona is a compact place with more than 2,000 years of history. The Romans settled here, as did the Visigoths and the Moors. At its heart is one of Spain’s best-preserved medieval quarters. With rivers flowing through it and lying close to the Pyrenees, the city is also popular with nature lovers. Hike and bike through mountains, navigate picturesque waterways and tour centuries-old buildings. Familiarize yourself with Girona’s long history in the old quarter. Walk up 90 steps to reach the Cathedral of Girona, a magnificent Romanesque, gothic and baroque structure built between the 11th and 18th centuries. The cathedral's exterior was used in the filming of season six of *Game of Thrones*. Visit other city locations that appeared in the global TV hit, including the 12th-century Arab baths. See pagan and early Christian sarcophagi in the Church of Sant Feliu, Girona's first cathedral. Walk on the city’s ancient walls, the Passeig de la Muralla. Uncover more of Girona’s past in the Archeology Museum of Girona, the Museum of Jewish History and the Girona History Museum. With a mountainous backdrop and the confluence of four rivers, Girona has extensive natural beauty. Hike through La Devesa and Les Ribes del Ter parks, located on either side of the River Ter. Kayak along the waterway and take a mountain bike trip in the Gavarres Mountains. During winter, enjoy the ski resorts of the Girona Pyrenees. To get to Girona, fly into Barcelona's international airport, 68 miles (110 kilometers) away. Alternatively, arrive by road or rail from France. Girona is just 40 miles (65 kilometers) from the French border. Get around by taxis, rental bikes and local buses. A rental car is a good idea for traveling farther afield, although several intercity bus routes connect the city with the rest of Catalonia. Girona offers a wealth of cultural and historical gems and is gateway to some of Catalonia’s stunning natural scenery. ![](https://forever.travel-assets.com/flex/flexmanager/images/2026/02/06/expedia-sale-2026-desktop-us-ca.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1400&h=600&q=mediumHigh) ## The Annual Vacation Sale Members save up to 40% on hotels and homes.

Go to the old town with the narrow streets leading up to the cathedral. River front is scenic with old bridges including the Red Bridge designed by Gustav Eiffle of tower fame. Great outdoor dining and shopping. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler Girona is a must see place, beautiful medieval constructions! We also visited some little towns close to it which are also worth seeing (Besalú, Peratallada and Pals). ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveler The small old city, bigger living parts. View to the valley from the city walls and Montanya de la O is astonishing. It also has nice churches, especially the Cathedral. Unfortunately, no churches provide an ability to go upstairs to see the vaults. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler So much history!!! Beautiful architecture!!! ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveler Wonderful city with a rich history. Our Trip Advisor tour was great ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveler Girona is a pleasant base for a few nights outside of Barcelona. ## Cities near Girona ![Santa Maria del Castell (Fornells de la Selva)](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/182324/a5b96af4-83e1-48a2-ab54-fa6d5b618959.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Fornells de la Selva ![El Ter, el seu pas per terres saltenques (voltant Pla dels Solcs-Carril bici Girona-Olot)](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6060692/512246eb-254f-45e3-9b80-ba0732aecd7a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Salt ![Veïnat dels Sants Metges (Sant Julià de Ramis)](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6064249/f4223e19-d8b9-46b7-ad56-4abf94c1896d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Sant Julia de Ramis ![Ermita de Sant Gregori en Falset, Priorat, Tarragona, Catalunya](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6084311/0a18f040-9e52-4d9d-8af2-41145b67497c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=512&h=288&q=medium) ### Sant Gregori ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia -
